Re: [RFC|Accepted] Optimized Page Titles patch

But is the page title also considered content? I mean if we just hide the site's name in the title for bots, for instance, would that be considered "cloaking"?

Can you elaborate some more on this?

Re: [RFC|Accepted] Optimized Page Titles patch

Why is this even being argued? If page titles need to be shown differently to the bots then that's already not that complicated to handle. Of course there's no code for it in place right now but detecting if the user is a bot is already possible in 3.0.x so I'd imagine that based on that (IS_BOT) yo...

Re: [RFC|Accepted] Removal of subsilver2

Thing is they've had time, ever since phpBB3 came out. To me the fact that there is a bit more ss2 styles than prosilver styles just means that there was some transitioning from phpBB2 (subsilver) to phpBB3 (prosilver) and during that transition there have been users favoring ss2 just because that's...

Re: [RFC|Accepted] Removal of subsilver2

To put into perspective on the amount of styles out there that are subsilver2-based, I asked the admin of phpbb3styles.net for some numbers and here they are: prosilver-based: 292 subsilver2-based: 318 Seems pretty even to me and what I would expect, seeing that subsilver was in phpBB2. Based on the...

Re: [RFC|Accepted] Removal of subsilver2

First of all a 3.1.x version of SS2 does not exist so someone would have to create it as a custom style to begin with. Second of all once someone creates such a style then why would we deny someone support because they're using a custom style? If that was the case we wouldn't provide support to 95% ...

Re: [RFC|Accepted] Removal of subsilver2

But if it's not officially supported the same thing will happen that is happening with phpBB2 now: if a topic is started with a question about ss2 it will be immediately closed because ss2 isn't supported. Members who are willing to help won't get a chance to. Where did you read that? Why should th...

Re: [RFC|Accepted] Removal of subsilver2

I don't think you actually look through every MOD that attempts to get validated and even some that are in development. We do. I have not seen any MOD, small or large, that only has subsilver2 and that large MODs are not on phpbb.com either in development or otherwise is flat out wrong. Bottom line ...

Re: More Security regarding Usernames

This has been discussed before . Even though that's for 4.0, the same idea would apply here. I still think that if such a system would be implemented that the login could just be the e-mail, which is never shown to the public. That would be easier for a user to remember and is already information th...

Re: [RFC|Accepted] Removal of subsilver2

And, for the most part and from what I've seen in the MODs in Development forum, subsilver2 is usually the style that is brushed aside. http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=206214#p206214 While I cannot verify the percentages offered by nn-, 61% hardly seems like it gets "brushed asid...
